Answer 1

There are some files in /var/lib/mysql directory. Remove everything from this directory.
Or highly recommended, use volumes in docker-compose.yml.
volumes:
- /my/own/datadir:/var/lib/mysql
Update:
I tested with the following compose file, it worked fine without any errors.
version: '3.7'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
restart: always
volumes:
- ./data:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: pass
MYSQL_DATABASE: star
MYSQL_USER: user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: pass

Answer 2

For those who ran the container using the docker run command and added the --detach|-d flag; Remove and rerun the container without the -d flag.
This should provide the error message to why it fails.

Answer 3

I got the same behaviour defining restaart=always, If I remove it everything went fine, and later I run command
docker update --restart=always {{ID OF CONTAINER}}
Which makes it restart always. Hope this helps you.

Answer 4

Update Volume in docker-compose.yml
volumes:
- /my/own/datadir:/var/lib/mysql
Update: this compose file, it worked fine .
mysql:
image: mysql:5.7.22
container_name: mysql
restart: unless-stopped
tty: true
ports:
- "3307:3306"
volumes:
- /my/own/datadir:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
MYSQL_USERNAME: "root"
MYSQL_PASSWORD: "root"
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "root"
MYSQL_DATABASE: test
